Ive sent a V2 of this patch without this wallet, but to awnser your questions This is FFmpegs gnosis safe wallet, i have originally set it up The wallet is controlled by the General Assembly of FFmpeg and SPI And the General Assembly can change the person(s) who control the wallet For example the GA could simply choose any people it wants these people then could make a transaction. for example it could be setup as a 2 of 3 multisig, so that 2 of 3 people have to agree on a transaction. (of course once the GA does that, only these people can make future changes) Currently the wallet is intended to only serve as a intermediate to move money from crypto USDC to USD on SPIs/FFmpeg. This is not a taxable operation here according to the tax adviser i have asked. But i still would like to limit the use of this wallet until we are sure everything works in practice. thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB You can kill me, but you cannot change the truth.
